URBANEARS Medis Review

I would like to thank Valerie, the U.S. rep for Zound Industries for sending me these samples out to review, without her this review would not be possible. The unit I will be reviewing is the Medis model from urban ears. The first thing that I noticed about the Medis is that these are not your "ordinary" in ear headphone, the design is called ear click, it features 4 different sized pads, which can be placed on the tip of the headphone, and gives them a more snug and stationery fit by using the pad to slide into the grooves of your ear. I really loved this design and didn't have to constantly worry about the headphones falling out. The fabric cord is tangle resistant, and is microphone/remote compatible. The drivers are 15.4 mm, which is a little bit larger than most in ear headphones, and once you hear these you will think the driver is bigger than that. Although I don't review very many in ear headphones, I have listened to a ton of them in my life and have never been blown away by a pair. I wasn't blow away with the sound of these either, but i was impressed. The specs don't blow me away either. The reason I believe these do sound better than most in hear headphones is because of their superior fit. Once you find the right sized Ear Click pad it feels like these headphones are custom made for you, giving you the perfect placement of the speaker to create a very nice sound (for in ear headphones). These headphones are all about style, coming in over 20 colors you will be sure to find something that fits your taste. MSRP for these is $50, and I would have to say that is a pretty reasonable price for them. To check out more of the products from Urban Ears click HERE.
